How you guys only get to locate this forum after you've been "supposedly" scammed beggars explanation and the only explanation that best suits is that this isn't a genuine newbie account. Two things are involved here – 1. It's either the OP just made up the story to court sympathy or 2, they're ashamed to post from their main account.

I mean, for crying out loud, how do you invest in something a random person online introduced to you without doing due diligence on it? With a simple click on search engine should give you an idea what that site is all about. Well, I know I sound harsh on this and that's because we've hammered severally on something like this here. Verify first before investing, always.

Your friend did the right thing on second thought by selling his property. You can't have a disposable property and wait to suffer in abject poverty. However, I hope your friend didn't sell for some frivolous stuff. I won't sell my property for anything other than emergency or investment. If your friend sold so he could feed himself, he will still sell again to continue feeding. That shouldn't be a cogent reason.

On the other hand, it's a thing with me anyway, I never can bring myself to accept buying a friend's property off them when I know they're selling just to raise cash to make ends meet. If they're disposing the property to create more room in their space or replacing such with modern ones, I can buy. If they're disposing them because they want to move over to a different country I can buy. Other than that, I won't. But I can raise them some cash even if it's not all they're asking for as loan (which I won't be keen on asking them to refund me thereafter.) What are friends for.

www.babypips.com is a nice place to start the basics. It was part of the sites I slept on during my formative years in trading. I strongly recommend it. However, whether reading babypips, other resource materials or not; it still boils down to practicals. If you read all you want but don't demo trade or back test whatever information and strategies you've assimilated from books or sites it amounts to nothing. Practice is the main thing in trading. You need to burn the midnight oil doing that. Trading is a serious business career.

Again, once you think you've found your footing in demo trading and want to go live; learn Money Management (MM) and don't ever force trades. Let the trades come to you. If trades delay or don't come, act like nothing wrong happened. No one needs to be trade every day to be profitable.

I guess it's a global thing. I even thought the OP was talking about the situation in Nigeria when I saw the thread, not knowing they were talking about Europe. The rate of inflation in Nigeria is double figure and it's hitting the citizens real hard. The country hasn't had it this bad until with the new administration in place. Prices of goods aren't predictable within 24hrs after knowing what prices were. They change on hourly basis so to say.

I guess it's about time people started saving their money in stable coins than in fiat, if they can't keep it in Bitcoin at a time like this.

Now, that's a wrong conclusion you've there that people don't lose in some types of trading. That's not true. You lose in all, even in Spot trading. As conservative as we believe Spot trading is, one can also lose. What do you think bagholding is? If any coin/token one buys gets rugpull or worthless in the market, isn't that loss? Of course, it's.

To be honest with you, I try as much as I can not to look at Dogecoin as a memecoin. The dev may have created it as fun coin but it has utility. Payment with Doge is as fast as the speed of light. It's the fastest coin I've used for payment. Bitcoin isn't anywhere miles close to it. That's even besides Dogecoin's use in most casinos for gambling. When we talk of memecoins/tokens, we should be looking at worthless coins that merely thrive on hype and nothing else. Those ones are complete shitcoins.

I think it was more of free money for people than the actual sales on the launchpad as I read online of its airdrop. The airdrop was specifically for Binance users who had to apply by enlisting their emails and address on some private wallets like Metamask and TW.

Yes, I know memecoins are not stressful to create and push to the market. However, the point I made there is that there's often a mad demand for them during a bull season because of their cheap prices. Noob investors would mistake these low prices and their low market cap for an indication that there's more room for growth and then buy in. During bear season most investors are meticulous as they're disgruntled investing. Every cent counts during a bear season. Investors are more skeptical and careful during a bear season than they're during a bull season.

So for ur mind an "FG recognized bitcoin association for Nigeria" go be better thing ba? Na dis simple reason sef make me nor put mind for d so called e-naira project. My guy, d truth be sey anything wey FG put hand supposed fear you. D next thing now go be to clamp down on those wey dey d industry. If tomorrow, FG announce something to recognize Bitcoin traders or fans for Naija, omoh na to give dem 1000 yards gap be dat.

Heart would've been a better analogy. Every human has two kidneys but just one heart. One kidney can be taken out if it goes very bad and no replacement made of it and the human will survive but that can't be tried with the heart. Anyway, I got your drift there.

It doesn't always happen that way. You will be safe to say most follow it but it becomes a hasty generalization when you say, "all"

Well, on this admittance; let me quickly remind you that you posted in a roll and that's not good. It's against the forum rule. You've to merge your two posts or ask mods to do it if you don't know how to do it.

First off, you've to know that this is a forum with random fellows. You don't have to take anyone as a financial expert. Verify whatever you're told and do your research before executing any advice.

You took the calculation on the whole and that's why you think it's huge. It's not. $30 daily on a $7,000 investment is less than 0.5% daily. I don't think that's asking for too much.

Not as if anyone would care to see what's in those addresses anyway. I'm not sure public addresses put anyone in danger apart from unveiling how much they've received. However, you can block part of the letters in the addresses or blur them out to prevent the public knowing what's there.

There's a new image hosting site for the forum created by user joker_josue after imgur started misbehaving. You can find everything about it at the Image hosting for BitcoinTalk thread.

You will be better off on spot trading than futures as it's now. From the type of questions you've been asking it's obvious you're a greenhorn in trading. Don't experiment with that much cash. Just buy Bitcoin and leave it for next year. That way, I can assure you it must roll into profit. If you decide to do otherwise and trade it yourself on futures, count your losses. You're bound to lose all, even if it's $2000 trading capital. Don't jump into trading, especially futures. It's volatile. Equip yourself with the set skills for trading. You can source trading materials on YouTube at al and learn all there's to trading before venturing into it.

As an aside, why not do a 5% on leverage if you must insist on trading futures at all cost. Don't forget to take a long position on Bitcoin. Don't swim against the tide.

So, you're speculating that price will dump below $20k from its current level now? I doubt if that will happen because the fundamentals seem to be favouring Bitcoin at this time. We're almost getting to the end of the year and next year is halving, we know how prices spikes because of that. Anything that will cause Bitcoin to dip won't drag it to that point of $20k. I'm certain of that and will be shocked if that happens.

I believe that the next ATH will even surpass $100k, let alone $40k. I won't advise anyone to sell off their Bitcoin before halving except it's for settling an emergency issue. My projection is that Bitcoin won't do anything below $120k then.

Those two I bolded didn't add up. It's contradictory to tag someone a professional but in the same breath say they lack experience. Except there's something else you meant there, which will be good for you to explain to us.

This is the same thing bounty hunters suffer here. When such happens the dev teams will turn around to blame hunters for causing token price to dump and then deny them their remaining reward. Again, this makes it obvious what most projects plan ahead to do and that's why they wouldn't pay with stable coin or Bitcoin. Why pay with your native token when you know anyone it's paid to could dump it? If your team had paid the so-called tech dude with Bitcoin or any other stable coin, whatever selling action he took wouldn't have affected your project.

This will be on you to convince your investors with action, not mere rhetorics. Most devs embark on projects simply to rug pull, nothing else.

To tell you the sincere truth, I don't think those whose consciences have been seared with hot iron ever imagine in any way that one day they will die. If these ones do, there won't be so much vices and wickedness in this world as everyone will know there's a day of reckoning. This day most people don't evaluate life based on legacy but on wealth. It's worse in Africa. Good name being better than riches is almost a cliché in Africa now.

The story you shared is common place with us in Africa but so many people from saner clans will think it's a figment of someone's imagination.

Like LogitechMouse said, meme coins aren't just risky but very very very risky, (their own words). I think so too though with one "very" for appropriateness 🤔. If anyone wants to invest in memecoins/tokens they should have it at the back of their mind of the potential risks all carry. We've premium tears from those who invested in memecoins following the successful outing of Shiba Inu. These ones concluded that since Shib had a good run, whatever other meme they invest in will equally do well. That's erroneous.

However, let me quickly add that as we approach Bitcoin halving year there are going to be more scam and shitty projects that will hit the market to catch unguarded investors unawares. Bull run is that period when almost anything in the name of a project is embraced. People should be careful.

Besides the visibility these signature campaigns get among members and those wearing the logos here to relate as "work" colleagues, we should also realize that there are unregistered members (guests) who flock here to pick projects to invest in. There must be something advantageous these casinos enjoy for being here that makes more of them seek to run campaigns here. Every business does its feasibility studies, either before setting out or while in the business already to rework their strategy and I'm of the opinion that these casinos aren't dumb not to have done such and seen what benefits they're getting here. They can't be throwing cash around if they aren't getting positive energy, so to speak, from it.

Like they would say – Grow a thick skin.

Your observation that newbies get attacked may be right if you're referring to them be checked in open criticism (constructive criticism, that's) which I think are for the right reasons, then you're correct. If you're seeking everyone to turn a blind eye when you err then I don't think you've come to the right forum. Plagiarism and spam posts are two of the top vices that annoy (in generality) the top brass here. So, keep that in mind and do right.
